[Q] Nube Rooted Question

Hey guys
I have been rooted with the Apex 1.4.1 rom for some time now. Recently, I read that the droid X will possibly be getting updated to gingerbread. If this is true, will I have to unroot to receive the update?
Thanks in advance!

No you don't have to unroot but you will have to flash back to stock in order to get the update OTA (it will unroot you by updating). You can do so with a nandroid, sbf, or maderstcok. Or you could just update manually when the update is released, assuming that there will be an update soon.

Are you using a p. rom like gingerblur? If so you have to flash back to be able to access updates

I think you'll get that when your phone is up do date. There is no update ready for release yet.
Edit: I powered down my phone and restarted and checked again. It gave me a different message. It stated that my phone was up to date.

2.2?

Hi guys. I am in the process of flashing a ROM for my wife's D2. From all of my reading on here, it seems she should be on 2.3. However her system is still 2.2. Am I misinformed? I've hit the system update on her phone, but it says her phone is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

2.2 = Android verion
2.3.2 = Verizon update

I'm in the same situation, I'm on android 2.2 and system update says no update available. ..

You can be rooted and still receive an update, correct? I know you would lose root privledges, but I am trying to remember if I had to unroot or not.
I'm not able to get the update either (which is basically all I should be writing in this post), but I'm going to just attribute that to my flashing the tbh all in one back to froyo.

I think you need to be unrooted and have all stock apps.

So what's the update really I mean,i have android 2.2 and I think the gb is not released officially am I wrong?i have ee4

Android 2.3.3 aka Gingerbread is now available to all via OTA.

Since when, cuz a few days ago I was stock on ee4 now I'm on gumny and never saw any update msssage

I'm rooted, and the update downloaded by itself. Of course, the only way I'm gonna install it is when a version of cm7 GB is out that has amazing battery life.

Which that wouldn't even work bc its not rootable.

The CM7 has a version for the OTA GB. I've been running it since I ran the OTA.

Root using D3 method, then install the latest CM7 Nightly. I'm running it right now, overclocked to 1.3ghz. This phone is stupid fast and the battery life is killer.

Gingerbread ota leak

What changes does the ota bring to the incredible software wise? Like changes to radio or prl etc?I have an unrooted dinc on boost mobile and need to know if downloading the update will ruin my flash thanks.

I don't know much about boost mobile, but I would have to say you should probably wait until someone gets a new version of the flashing method for Gingerbread. It brings a new radio and kernel as far as I know.

Gingerbread sprint update

I just bought a galaxy tab for my daughter. (sprint version) i try to update firmware and its says update failed. Can i download up the gingerbread update directly?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

If it is active on the Sprint network then it should just download the update in the background and give a prompt after, asking if you want to install now. Make sure it is fully charged or it won't let you install right away.

Its not activated through sprint. We use it for wifi only

Im unable to flash roms right now. Can i download it direct?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

You'll have to use a computer and Odin or Heimdall to flash it to any of the stock EF17 (Gingerbread) files listed in the link above. The only way you can download it directly to the Tab and Update would be the stock files, and those should pull down automatically when connected (if it's not already updated.) I can post the individual Sprint updates if you want to maintain 100% stock, but need to know what release you're on currently.

Ok ill check when i get home. It is rooted could that be why im not getting the ota? Also could i activate it through sprint for a day just to get the ota? Its for my daughter i dont care if lose root
